Windows Subsystem for Linux drops "Preview" label

[Jan]

Microsoft makes Windows Subsystem for Linux generally available

Microsoft is dropping the "Preview" label for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and has made its Store version generally available for Windows 10 and 11 users.

The WSL was previously only available as an optional operating system component, and the Store version provides a similar user experience.

That's what the name would make you think. Should've called it Linux Subsystem for Windows IMHO.

Even Microsoft agrees that systems is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Has wine died?

no, but presumably if Microsoft themselves were to provide such a framework it would be a lot better.
